We Provide Support Across Southhampton Let us help you achieve results you deserve.

Southampton Divorce Attorney

The historical town of Southampton, New York is nestled in the southeastern
end of Long Island. The town was originally founded by settlers from Lynn,
Massachusetts who built their homes on land obtained from the local Shinnecock
Indians in 1640. The sandy beaches and celebrities make Southampton the
place to be during the summer, and the rest of the year locals enjoy the
town's museums, and exquisite restaurants, not to mention the nearby farms
and wineries.

Despite the beauty of our quiet little town, behind closed doors and away
from public view couples struggle with their relationships as others do
across the country. No matter where you live or how much money you make,
marriage takes work and it's not always easy to hold things together.
At the Law Offices of Steven P. Kuhn, we represent men and women from
all over Southampton in their divorce and family law matters.

We regularly represent doctors, lawyers, blue collar workers, homemakers,
and all other types of people who are dealing with a broken marriage.
No matter who you are, where you work, or where you come from, we are
fully committed to providing you, our client with the highest quality
legal representation available because you deserve nothing less during
the greatest transition of your life.

Protecting Your Best Interests

Love and marriage are emotional and financial investments and when you
have a large amount of real estate property and other assets, it is considered a
high-net-worth divorce. In cases where the marriage is of short duration or where a family business
is involved, it's important to have a highly knowledgeable attorney who
is closely familiar with New York's laws of
equitable distribution.

Unlike states such as California where everything is divided 50/50 down
the middle, equitable distribution states do not handle matters in such
a fashion. In New York a couple's assets are handled on a case-by-case
basis and at the judge's discretion; therefore, if you want to protect
your assets and your claim to your fair share, it's vital that you have
an aggressive attorney by your side every step of the way.

One of the most important aspects of a
divorce involves
custody and
visitation of the children if there are children from the marriage that is. In the
most ideal situations the couple will agree easily on a child custody
and visitation arrangement, for only the parents themselves know the best
solution for their own children; however, this is sometimes easier said
than done.

It is not uncommon for couples to actually put off a necessary divorce
out of fear of what would happen to their children, or out of fear of
losing valuable face time with them. We want you to know that we fully
understand the nature and sensitivity of these types of situations and
we are deeply committed to helping you achieve child custody and visitation
arrangement that you can feel good about and that won't compromise the
integrity of your relationship with your child or children.

Family Law & Post-Divorce Issues

Family law encompasses a broad range of areas that involve families and divorced
couples. In addition to handling divorce matters such as
annulments,
asset division,
debt division, and
maintenance, our firm offers a broad range of other family law services as well. For
example, we represent clients in
paternity actions; once paternity is established it affords the father the rights
and responsibilities of being a father and these include having to pay
child support and providing the father is fit, it may also include rights
to child custody or visitation. For a mother, once paternity is established
she can receive child support payments and sometimes medical insurance
from the father on the child's behalf.

We also handle
separation agreements,
postnuptial agreements,
spousal support, and in domestic violence cases, we can help our clients obtain an
order of protection against an abusive spouse. Whether you are interested in obtaining a
collaborative divorce or if you anticipate a
contested divorce, our legal team is here to assist you every step of the way. We understand
the high levels of stress and anxiety associated with a divorce and we
want to guide you through the process, all the while advising you of your
rights, responsibilities and the consequences of any steps you are considering taking.

With over 25+ years devoted to family law, and 35+ years practicing law
altogether, our founding attorney Steven P. Kuhn is highly successful
in Southampton divorce cases. He has provided legal counsel to everyone
from business professionals, to attorneys, to housewives, and many of
